re: Comment about 'Disable the Insert key in Word (disable INS & OVR mode)' Tuesday, November 15, 2005 at 11:09 am Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Ari (1 messages posted) I've done that on a number of keyboards because I lost a lot of work to inadventent Overtype mode... then I got Sharpkeys from http://www.randyrants.com/ (freeware) and remapped the Insert key to do nothing... and F12 to be Insert for the few times I need it. This is reversable and works on all of Windows. (You can remap other keys, too, but this is the only one I wanted...)
